Who are the preferred/recommended freelancers?

A list of freelance photographers is available at styleguide.duke.edu. This list will be updated as additional photographers are identified and their eligibility to do work for Duke is confirmed.

Communicators are encouraged to share information about freelance photographers so that the list can be kept up to date – please email suggestions to photos@duke.edu.

Guidelines for working with freelancers, including rights, releases, and image tagging and metadata protocols are available in the photography toolkit at styleguide.duke.edu.

What about headshots?

Any headshots that were scheduled as of February 19 will proceed as planned.

If you are looking to have a headshot taken, please contact us at photos@duke.edu

What if I have already booked Duke Photography to cover my event/do a shoot for a publication or website?

All appointments booked through March 16 will be honored. If you wish to proceed with a freelance photographer instead, please let us know and we will be happy to help you in your search.

We will contact all those whose events are later than March 16 to help you complete your project in a timely and cost-effective way.

Where can I get the images that have been taken but not delivered?

We will confirm the delivery of all in-progress projects.

Do I have to pay my outstanding bills?

Any work completed by Duke’s photographers – including photography booked through Duke Photo for a future date – will be billed within one week at the agreed-upon rates and are payable through the regular internal payment process.

Where do I get stock photos/images?

Duke’s Asset Management Tool is full of thematic, strategic, and engaging images will be available for all campus communicators to use at no charge.

ONC will maintain the library and will regularly refresh the available images from sources throughout Duke.
